We have had an exhausting few months house hunting in Auckland, with most of our weekends spent running around open homes or mulling over property inspection reports and mortgage documents. After a few emotional and unsuccessful attempts at house buying, I decided we needed a break from Auckland's property market. And what better way to … Continue reading A weekend skiing in Wanaka

We headed to Wellington last month for four days, for a belated birthday trip in my favourite little craft beer capital. This was our second time in Welly, and since we had already jam packed loads of touristy stuff into the first trip, we decided to devote most of our time to hunting out good … Continue reading My food and beer guide to Wellington

I've been double parked all summer with my La Sardina in one hand and my new ActionSampler in the other. This 35mm roll from my La Sardina spans about three months of fun times, and brings back many fond memories of long balmy days with my pups, hubs, and dear friends. Beachin' and board making … Continue reading A La Sardina summer

It's Sunday morning here in Auckland and the air is cool and dewy. It feels like the humid, sticky days of summer are slowly fading away and I'm welcoming the fresher temperatures with open arms, after months of sleeping with a fan blowing in my face. We managed to squeeze in one last summer roadie … Continue reading 4 days in Taranaki

We both had 11 days off work over the Christmas holidays, which gave us ample time to load up the car and get out of Auckland for a much needed summer road trip. I had a bit of a nightmare finding somewhere to camp between Christmas and NYE with Lola. We were hoping to adventure … Continue reading Carry on camping: Raglan

My last roll of film ended up being a bit of a shrine to my family - and what a fine looking pair they are! These lot were captured on the LomoChrome Purple 35mm, which I've used a couple of times but with questionable success. It's not my favourite type of film but every now … Continue reading Spring in analog

It's been almost a month since we arrived home from our trip back to the UK. England was a wonderful, drunken, emotional blur that happened all too quickly, so much so that I had almost forgotten about our brief encounter with Hong Kong. Last time we visited the UK we were heavily jet lagged and … Continue reading 24 hours in Hong Kong

It's the first week of winter and I'm in full hide-under-the-blanket hibernation mode. The days are getting shorter and darker, so it's time to switch my film to ISO 400 and 800. For now though, here's a throwback to some autumn highlights, shot on my La Sardina with 35mm Colour Negative 100 film. Enjoy x … Continue reading Autumn in analog

It's Saturday morning and the heavens have well and truly opened over Auckland to unleash an ocean of rain, just in time for the weekend. So instead of heading to the beach, I'm staying under my duvet, with Lola at my feet, and using this time to mostly hibernate and reminisce about sunnier times. We've covered … Continue reading Carry on camping: Taranaki
